70 yenko nova
 

Hi I'm intersted in the 70 yank nova on eBay right now, does anyone here know the car and if it's real like it says? I tried searching about the car here but didn't see any links/posts about it which raised my suspicion? Thanks for any guidance,Jim

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

Thanks!! Although the pics link you posted doesn't work for me? So the whole drive train is not original/numbers matching? I asked him that and he said it was? Jim

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

None of the drive line is original to the car. It is a nice car. Would show well in a non judged show, and drove well when I last knew.

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

Its one VIN higher than my blue car,354482.

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

This car has some real good stories from it's time in AR.

The claim of original drivetrain is not true!

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

Use to own that car. I believe it was the first Yenko Schoney restored? Anyway, was extremely solid body. Drivetrain was non original, however it was as correct as it could be replacement-wise. Dates were perfect. I remember getting an original shifter from a former site member here. Was a great car. Was sold without a hood tach new because on the delivery truck a chain was hanging and beat up the top side of car. There are pictures of the car on the net somewhere and probably on this site. Under google type in Cliff Peck Deuce and something will pop up. I learned to never ever put air shocks and big tires on a nova because of that car. Drove like a brick. Head hit the roof every bump. :)I had Schoney do it day 2 style for me. Cool looking car, but terrible to drive. Switched rear tires right away. Dave

Actually I think that was the 3rd of 4th deuce we did. The motor is as close as you could get to right. It's a Corvette LT/1 with a almost dead on cast date.

Those pics might have both this car, and mine together. Both Cliff Peck sold.

Here's the found/resto pics link again, looks like they're your pics Dave?

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

That's them! Ken, you should know! I knew it was early on. There is also pics of it in day 2 form if you type in cliff peck deuce in google and click images. If you look real close there are outword dents in the roof on the driver side from the stiff suspension. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] Dave

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

Yes, it was indeed a Corvette LT1, I saw it on the engine stand in CT - even told the guy the owner/seller that it was the Corvette version, to which he took great offense! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] No big deal, it's all good stuff! Car had black stripes on it while in CT, looked pretty stealth. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

Again thanks guys for all your knowledge about this car!

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

I sent him an e-mil through e-bay see below:

Dear thenovaguy6972,

Is the entire drive train original to the car or has it been changed?

Paul

His response:
Only the block was changed, all other parts are original

Sent from my iPhone

Just as info:

Was Cliff Peck related to Bob Peck Chevrolet in Arlington Va?

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

know as the pecker brothers :-)

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

Wow, so this guy is telling everyone something different. Man am I glad I came here!

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

I know for a fact that the rear was not original to the car, in fact I think it might have been a '70 CBT rear and there was no transmission at all. The seller stated that the transmission was installed in a van, but nobody seemed to know about said van. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

The seller is no different than alot of sellers selling private or at auction. HES TRYING TO SELL A CAR. That why the SYC is a great site for information

Re: 70 yenko nova
 

mr 707 is correct - the seller in CT likely didn't really know that the corvette engine on the stand was not the original, and to him the 12 bolt in the car was just as correct as the original! The educated market priced the car fairly for him, and both parties were satisfied when it sold.
